[P2P-F] suitable metrics to use for non financial use-value ?

Tue Oct 11 21:58:30 CEST 2011

Interesting.

I am also interested in statistical reports, based on objective metrics ( as
opposed to subjective ), not based on monetary evaluations,

over time, and according to locality.

I would like to be able to use certain measurable / objectively quantifiable
goals,

and then enable a p2p approach to reach such quantifiable goals, through for
example regional economic development policies where intentional p2p
networks can support the development of such set objectives, as in a
collaborative game.

One example :

or certain housing policies in Marinelda
